When ever I've applied for jobs, I don't think I've ever been refused an interview based on the subject of my degree, despite it being listed as a requirement in many ads, and conversely, I've received CVs responding to ads from people lacking the 'required' qualifications from the ad, and have judged them on merit alone - do remember that whatever the job ad says, nothing's stopping you from applying, and your CV will be read by an actual, flesh-and-blood person who I'm pretty sure in most cases will judge you on merit.</div>

Please feel free to apply with or without a degree. We are really looking for someone with experience working on a large code base and willing to work on an on going project. </div>
